Rockfax Description
A fine thin crack which is one of Millstone's classic E2s with a crucial and fingery bulge near half-height. Most people start by scrambling up Scoop Crack to the mid-height ledge, though the steep and awkward lower corner crack is a good alternative and best done early in the year before the ferns take hold (5b ). © Rockfax

βeta: straightforward for 5c but one or two sections where good footwork and the will to keep climbing may be of use. the gear felt a bit spaced (in reality though it isnt) and for those who like relatively regular placements i suggest taking some micro wires / swedges. a great route with sustained climbing, some lovely moves and a bit of an exposed feel to it.
